WESTPORT — The unofficial arrival of summer over Memorial Day weekend signals the time to open the in-ground swimming pool in the backyard of the property at 15 Rockyfield Road.

A slate patio under a canopy of mature trees in the level lot of just over one acre is a pleasantly private place to lounge. There is also plenty of open spaces comprising green grass in the front and back yards for lawn games. In other words, this colonial house and its surrounding property encourage indoor-outdoor living.

Its location in the Coleytown section of Westport puts it conveniently close to the Merritt Parkway - only about one mile away, walking distance to Coleytown Elementary and Middle schools, and only minutes to downtown Westport.

The pale gray shingle house with black shutters and white trim was built in 1951 and has received many recent updates. It has 3,661 square feet of living space. Among its 13 rooms is a large suite above the attached, under house two-car garage, which is accessed by its own separate staircase with a private entrance. It would be perfect as a home office, au pair or in-law suite, guest quarters, or a teenage hang-out.

Enter the house by way of the covered front porch, punctuated by four white columns. The red front door opens into the foyer from which there is access to the formal living room by walking straight ahead and stepping down into the spacious room. Just before entering the room there is a recessed area with upper and lower cabinets that could be used as a dry bar when entertaining or as display space for objet d'art or a floral arrangement.

The living room has a fireplace with a raised hearth, wall-to-wall carpeting, and a large picture window flanked by six-over-six double-hung windows looking over the backyard. The living room is open to the formal dining room, which has chair railing. From the dining room French doors lead into the charming sunroom. It has a cathedral ceiling with milled beams, three walls of casement windows, bead board on the lower walls, a skylight, and a door that leads to the patio and pool area beyond.
